I essentially gave up on them back around 2000/2001. They were scheduled to have Pat McMahon on the radio and the interview was a couple minutes into it when a weatherwarning came on. This warning lasted a while. Chuck and Doug continued to interview McMahon and obviously no one could hear the interview. Well, when the show came back on, you would think that they would summarize what was discussed but they didn't. They just apologized for the interruption, kind of giggledsaying they enjoyed speaking with Patand started back talking pro sports. When you couple that with their insistance back then that they were caller driven, I just had to give up on them. How are you caller driven when someone calls in to talk college sports, then Chuck and Doug aren't informed enough to discuss, the caller hangs up and Chuck and Doug continue on with whatever pro issue they were talking about right before the caller.
They may have improved since then so congratulations if you have. I don't listen.
really thought their show was that informative or enjoyed it, but it was on for so many years it kind of became a staple and I always caught myself listening to it.
They would wear golf out some days. Golf, golf, golf.<div>
</div><div>I think some of the topics and callers were good, but Chuck and Doug both would say "uh, and uh, you know, uh, you know" over and over and over too. If some of that was taken out, it would better than average.</div>
I think Chuck and Doug are moreknowledgeable about sports than Bo Bounds, and I think they're far more skilled at being analytical and generally good sports talk show hosts. But what Bo gets that they don't and why I listen to Bo more is because of his content.<div>
</div><div>Bo understands that in a state like MS or AL with no pro sports teams that you have to talk about MSU/OM/SEC 70-90% of the time, no matter what season it is and that college football talk rules. Sports talk show hosts that get huge ratings in the South should follow the Finebaum blueprint, and Chuck and Doug never got that. They talked about what they were interested in, not the majority of the audience</div><div>
